| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? No, I don’t have a $100 XLR cable on hand so I’m asking for experiences here. I usually don't consider cables below $500 for the main system. | |
| Graham LS5/9 vs Harbeth M30.2 and SHL5 Plus Yes, Harbeth more listenable with low listening fatigue although it sounds a little warm at times. Currently I am getting some brightness in the treble with the Graham with most recordings. I managed to reduce this glare or brightness a little by... | |
| Graham LS5/9 vs Harbeth M30.2 and SHL5 Plus Right folks. I’ve had the Graham LS5/9 for about a week. Owned Harbeth SHL5 and SHL5+ for 13 years and heard the Harbeth C7ES3, M30, 30.1 and 30.2. The Graham to me is a more truthful or accurate monitor speaker than the Harbeth equivalent M30.1 ... | |
| Best way to keep REL sub from “hopping around” at high volumes Are you using the sub when watching an action-packed blockbuster movie? | |
| Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Power Cable I swapped the 8100 and 9700 between the amp and source and prefer the 8100 on the DAC and 9700 on the amp. A slightly livelier and more open sound and an overall more balanced presentation. That’s a lot of top Acrolink cables you have there. I wo... | |
| NAIM 282/250DR/HC2DR against Accuphase E5000 @chayro I was not referring to your post when I made the comment. I was referring to the OP’s post mentioning about the Supernait 3. Yes, I agree that the result with the SN3 wouldn’t be too good when it's matched with the Kudos speaker. Most Na... | |
| NAIM 282/250DR/HC2DR against Accuphase E5000 Naim integrateds are not very good. True Naim quality starts from 282/250DR in my book. If you want to go integrated, look at other alternatives such as Accuphase, Luxman, Pass Labs etc. The Accuphase E-5000 and Naim 282/250DR would sound quite d... | |
| Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 USB Jafant, Thanks. The WW Platinum Starlight 8 seems to have the edge in areas of transparency and detail in comparison to the Tellurium Q Ultra Silver. I haven’t switched back to the Tell-Q to reconfirm my impressions and will do so sometime. Never... | |
| Wireworld Electra 7 Hi Jafant, The Wireworld cables are sounding great with the Luxman DA-06 DAC particularly the Silver Electra 7 at it neutralized the warmth of the DAC by providing a more open sound with better clarity and detail in the midrange and treble. With ... | |
| Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Power Cable Propulsive drive in the bass is a better description for the Acrolink 8N-PC8100 power cable. | |
| Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Power Cable Yes, it’s quite costly. To date, this is the costliest power cable I currently own. I bought it new here on the Gon about 2 years ago. It may sound crazy but this Acrolink cord actually costs higher than the Chord QBD76 DAC that’s connected to it.... | |
| Wireworld Thanks for the response. | |
| Wireworld They trade mid-treble energy for better imaging. @erik_squires may I ask which Wireworld speaker cable are you referring to when you made the above remark. Is it the Eclipse 8, Silver Eclipse 8 or Gold Eclipse 8? I’m trying to figure out whic... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? Sound quality is just a byproduct. The money that you are paying goes to 1. Raw material which contributes to build quality and fit and finish 2. Parts and components 3. Research and development 4. Wages for everyone | |
| Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 USB I’ve read an underwhelming experience from a Starlight 8 USB owner on another forum. After comparing the spec sheet, I found the Starlight 8 to be very similar to the lower range Ultraviolet which I also have. The only difference between the two c... |
